I think that USE_ would have been better left for user-defines, but that's not how history panned out. USE_* should be reserved for ports to define, and ports should not have user-tunable options that begin with USE_ (or, in the ridiculous manner of q3server-ra3 and utserver-to, DONT_USE_). Port should have all user-definable settings as WITH_* and WITHOUT_*, and all ports that have USE_ should be changed. Ermmn, IMO that is. Here is a list of ports that have user-tunable options that begin with USE_. Note that this is a really quick and dirty list, and probably has errors. # Adam cad/gmsh USE_TRIANGLE cad/tochnog USE_THREADS chinese/libtabe USE_DB2 chinese/xcin25 USE_DB2 comms/ltmdm USE_595_OBJ devel/pear-PEAR USE_PHPIZE editors/staroffice60 USE_CDROM games/q3server-ra3 DONT_USE_ZIP games/tome USE_XLIB games/utserver-to DONT_USE_ZIP DO_USE_WRKSUBDIR DO_USE_STRIP irc/ngircd USE_TCP_WRAPPERS japanese/skkinput3 USE_SKK10 japanese/zangband USE_Z_SCORES mail/anubis USE_OPENSSL USE_GNUTLS USE_PAM USE_TCP_WRAPPERS mail/mutt-devel USE_NCURSES USE_SLANG math/maxima USE_CMLCL USE_GCL USE_CLISP math/spooles USE_MPI USE_THREADS security/heimdal USE_XLIB security/isakmpd USE_KEYNOTE security/krb5 USE_MIT_TARBALL www/interchange USE_THIS_PERL www/lynx-current USE_OPENSSL www/mnogosearch USE_OPENSSL www/w3m USE_OPENSSL x11/xmotd USE_HTML USE_MOTIF USE_XPM x11-servers/XttXF86srv-common USE_SHARED_WRKSRC -- Adam Weinberger vectors.cx >> adam@vectors.cx >> http://www.vectors.cx magnesium.net << adamw@magnesium.net << http://www.magnesium.net/~adamw FreeBSD >> adamw@FreeBSD.org >> http://people.freebsd.org/~adamw #vim:set ts=8: 8-char tabs prevent tooth decay.
